The Rangers have yet to specify an exact return date for Calhoun, but the 24-year-old slugger figures to play in a handful of minor-league games before being activated.

Calhoun (quadriceps) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Calhoun was scheduled to undergo an MRI early Wednesday after exiting Tuesday's game with a left quad strain. The Rangers are labeling Calhoun as day-to-day for now while they await the results of the MRI. Should Calhoun require a stay on the injured list, the Rangers would put a temporary end to their five-man outfield/designated-hitter rotation and have everyday roles available for Shin-Soo Choo, Joey Gallo, Hunter Pence and Nomar Mazara.

Calhoun will sit again Monday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Calhoun started four games in a row after earning his callup but has now sat for two straight. His bat certainly hasn't earned a benching, as he's gone 10-for-21 with two homers in his brief time in the big leagues. Shin-Soo Choo will start in left field, with Hunter Pence serving as the designated hitter.
